Jewish Agency says 7.3 million Jews reside in Israel, 6.3 million in US; number of Jews worldwide has increased by 100,000 over the last year

The world’s Jewish population stands at 15.8 million on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, the Jewish Agency said on Wednesday, an increase of about 100,000 over the last year.

The annual report is based on research conducted by demographer Prof. Sergio Della Pergola of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

The agency added that of those 15.8 million, 7.3 million reside in Israel, compared to 7.2 million last year. Of the 8.5 million Jews who live outside of Israel, the biggest Jewish population center is the United States — which is now home to 6.3 million, according to the statement.

The remaining 2.2 million Jews live in other countries, with the biggest populations in France and Canada, with 438,500 and 400,000 respectively.
